Applicationimed, may e, 1922, serial No.v 559,092. Renewed :rune is, 1923.

To all 'whom it 'ma/y concern.' Y

Be it known that I, JOSEPH ODI'LoN Rn- MiLLAnn, aBritish subject,and a citizen of the Dominion of Canada, residing at the cityl of Montreahin the Province of Quebec, Dominion of Canada, have invented a new and useful Antitheft Automobile License and Ownerls rlitle, of which the following is a specification. n

My invention relates to an anti-theft duplicate automobile license and owners titlel which bears the same number as the regular automobile license and is inserted in the face of an automobile lamp'andis removed to prevent the automobile from being operated, either during the day` or during the night, by any person or persons who has or have no legal right to operate same.

l attain these objects by a mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawing in which- Figure l is a horizontal section of an automobile lamp showing the anti-theft automobile license and owners title l 2 3 in position;

,Figure 2, a vertical section of an automobile lamp also Vshowing' the anti-theft automobile license and owners title l 5 in position;

Figure 3, a front view of an automobile lamp fastened to the mudguard of an automobile, showing anti-theft automobile license and owners title 2 3 4l 5, under green shade surrounded by frosted glass, and lock-pin 6 in. nut below mud-guard;

`Figure l, a vertical section of part of Figure 3, showing manner of fastening autoincbile` lamp to mud-guard with a tapered lockpin 6, inserted so as to point outwards from body of automobile;

Figure 5, a front view of anti-theft automobile license and owners title;

Figure G, a vertical View of anti-theft automobile license and owners title 7 8; and

.Figure '7, a horizontal View of anti-theft automobile license and owners title l 2 3.

Similar numerals refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

The anti-theft automobile license and owners title, Figure 5, consists of a thin thin rectangular-shaped substance,`

bearing the same number as the ofiicial automobile license, is inserted in aground or` moulded groove at the edge of a rectangular depression onthe insidev of theglass of'an automobile lamp as illustrated Il` 5 in Figure 2. f i i It is removed by the person having the legal right to operate the automobile when the automobile is not in useand is only inserted inits place immediatelybefore the automobile is put intense, its absence from the automobile clearly indicating to` the .traliic authorities and to the public that the case is one for immediate detention and enquiry.4 y

If the person operating an `automobile has a legal rghtto operate it,he can easily show, under ordinary circumstances, that he has a legal right to do so; otherwise, the automobile should be detained until his right to operate such automobile has been properly established. Y

Thus this anti-theft automobile license and owners title will make it practically impos-A sible for a thief to steal an automobile unless he first succeeds in stealingthe antitheft automobile license and owners title from the operators pocket.

The lamp containing the anti-theft automobile license and owners title is fastened to the mud-guard with a tapered lock-pin 6, with the larger end facing outside, making.

it diilicult to steal the lamp containing the antistheft 4automobile license and owners title. f

While l have described my invention as taking a peculiar form, it will be understood that the various parts of my invention may be changed without departing from the spirit thereof, and hence l do not limit myself to the precise construction set forth but consider that I am at liberty to make such changes as fairly come Within the scope of the `appended claims.
